Auden dies
Poet W. H. Auden, considered widely as the greatest
living English language poet, died of an apparent heart
attack yesterday after giving a lecture on his poetry
before the Austrian Society for literature in Vienna. The
British-born poet, who once taught here at the Univer-
sity, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1948.
He was known for his plain-to the point of being pro-
saic-verse, but the depths of expression was there.
Auden once said the only thing he dreaded was to die
an old man from a lingering disease. "When life is be-
comipg a burden you should let go," the 66-year-old poet
commented. "The nicest way, I think, would be a heart
attack. It's cheap and it's quick."

Bring charity home
Charity begins at home-and a number of citizens in
Cook County, Ill., have decided that they'd like the
Commonwealth Edison Co. to begin some charity at
their homes right now. They've filed a $10 million suit
claiming the utility has given at least that much to
charity since 1965 at their expense. The citizens claim
that the donations are included in the company's operat-
ing expense when they request a kick-up in rate in-
creases. Edison says the donations are a "relatively
small" part of the utility's operating expenses. Naturally.

Getting high
Henri Rochatain is walking a thin line-and he's been
walking it for six months. The 42-year-old circus clown
has stretched to six months his record-breaking squat
on a high wire above a supermarket in Sainte Etienne,
France. Rochatain, who has been subsisting mainly on
algae soup, biscuits and tea, began his stay on the high
wire March 28. Nobody seems to have asked the man
why he's breaking his own previous endurance records.
Like cigarette-smoking and biting nails, it's probably
hard to break old habits.

Republicans' saving grace
Former presidential adviser John Connally received
a rousing cheer at the National Federation of Repub-
lican Women in Los Angeles yesterday for remarking
that only women can inject life into the Republican
party because "I don't look for men to do it." Connally,
apparently newly liberated, added that "Men like to sit
back with their feet up on the desk, holding a coffee cup
or something else and talk about priorities while the
women do all the work."

Price controls, Roman style
Seasons may come - and go, but the price controls
abideth forever. Or at least that's what archeologists
now seem to think. Joyce Reynolds of Newham College
in Cambridge, England, told a recent archeology con-
ference in Izmir, Turkey, that excavations have un-
earthed the best preserved copy so far of Emperor Dio-
cletian's edict on maximum prices-circa 301 A.D. So
cheer up, at least Nixon hasn't ordered the death penalty
yet for violations. Diocletian did, and archeologists have
evidence to show that at least one of these penalties
was carried out.
Soviet superstar
Ile may be gone, but his memory-and voice-linger
on. The Soviet news agency Tass announced yesterday
their latest recorded superstar-Josef Stalin. Stalin, now
dead for 20 years, will be featured on a new series of
records about World War II. It's bound to make a mint
in the Soviet, but tell Bette Midler not to worry.

LOS ANGELES (Reuter) - Vice-
President Spiro Agnew yesterday
declared that he was totally inno-
cent of charges that he accepted
bribes when he was governor of
Maryland, and declared that he
would not resign his office even if
he is indicted by a grand jury now
hearing the case.
In a fighting speech to 2,500 Re-
publican women, he accused the
highest career official in the U.S.
Department of Justice, Assistant
Attorney General Henry Petersen,
of trying to drive him from office
and of leaking allegations against
him to the press.
LATER YESTERDAY, Attorney
General Elliott Richardson defend-
ed Petersen. In a statement re-
leased in Washington, Richardson
praised Petersen as a "distin-
guished government lawyer" and
w will not
resign if
Yeep says Petersen trying to force him
said the decision to prosecute Ag-
new had not been Petersen's alone.
Agnew's speech, the sharpest yet
made by the Vice-President in his
own defense, was greeted by a four-
minute standing ovation.
He declared that he intended to
go to court and force Justice De-
partment officials to give state-
ments under oath about the han-
dling of the Agnew case.
HE SAID top Justice Department
officials were "trying to destroy
me deliberately through the use
of the criminal justice system of
the United States."
He said he was being subjected
to "a kangaroo trial" through leaks
to the papers and accused Petersen
-without mentioning him by name
-of being a principal source of the
leaks.
It was the Vice-President's first
public speech since the charges
against him were presented to a
grand jury last Thursday.
According to published reports,
former close associates of the Vice-
President claim he accepted kick-
backs from construction companies
who won state jobs when he was
governor of Maryland in the late
1960s.
AGNEW SAID the question might
be asked, "Why should a Republi-
can Department of Justice and a
Republican prosecutor attempt to
get you?"
He added, "I don't know all the
answers but some individuals in
the Department of Justice have
been severely stung by their in-
eptness in the prosecution of the
Watergate case and that the Presi-
dent had to appoint a special prose-
cutor. They are trying to recoup
their reputation at my expense.
"I'm a big trophy."

of criminal prosecutions at the
Justice Department, had been in
charge of the Watergate case until

NAVY NABBED, 14-0

Punchless Blue edge scrappy
foes in mistake-laden clash
By BOB HEUER
If one believes Bo Schembech-
ler's adage that a football team
never stays the same, but im-
proves or gets worse every week,
Bo's Wolverines lost a step yester-
day in their quest for gridiron su-
premacy.
Michigan took care of Navy 14-0,
but in so doing they bore out Sch-
embechler's week - long harangue
predicting a tight, hard-fought
battle. The offense sustained only
one drive all day, and the defense
turned in "the worst performance
by a defense for a shutout I've
ever seen," according to Schem-
bechler.
The statistics seemed to agree.
The Middies'out-first-downed Mich-
igan 20 to 15 and garnered 173
yards through the air compared to
a rather modest four (4) for the
Maize and Blue.
THE MIDSHIPMEN even pre-
vailed in a category usually domi-
nated by Michigan, running off 75
plays to the Wolverines' 63. And
although no one among the 88,042
Band Day partisans ever seriously
doubted that the Wolverines would
win the ball game, only foolish mis-
takes at crucial moments kept the
Middies from scoring on a number
of occasions.
But in the end, the defenders,
bent to the tune of 320 yards of
Naval offense, never broke; leav-
ing the remaining criticism for the
lackluster showing on the shoul-
ders of the offense.
Denny Franklin engineered touch-
down drives of 16 and 54 yards,
and ignited the largely passive
throng with two long gainers, but
aside from that it was a long after-
noon for the Blue attack.
After the teams traded punts to
open the contest, safety Dave
Brown gave Michiganethe first
break of the game, picking off an
Al Glenny aerial at the Navy 43.
But a clip nullified Brown's 14-yard
return and three rushes could get
the Wolverines no further than
punt formation.
NAVY'S NEXT possession re-
sulted in a costly fumble when
Glenny collided with running back
Cleveland Cooper in the backfield.
Dave Gallagher fell on the foot-
ball at the 16 and it took only two
Ed Shuttlesworth plunges and one
perfectly executed F r a n k Ii n to
Chuck Heater option play to nego-
tiate six points for the Wolverines.
Cooper fumbled for Navy after
the ensuing kickoff, but recovered
himself and the Midshipmen re-
grouped to drive from their own 20
to the Michigan 38 before another
fumble did them in. This time,
Steve Strinko, who led the Wolver-
ine defenders with 10 solo tackles,
and Dave Elliot jarred Junior Tu-
puola loose from the football. Glen-
ny recovered, but the nine yard
loss took the starch out of the
drive.
Michigan managed four more
first downs in the half while Navy
continued to eat up yardage be-
tween the 20's. Driving from their
own 30, the Midshipmen ran around

AN UNIDENTIFIED IAN watches yesterday with unabashed glee as the undefeated Wolverines roll,
albeit shakily, to yet another victory. Despite this fan's unconcerned air, the game did provide some
exciting moments and proved to be a lot more closely fought than anyone expected. Despite being over-
whelming favorites, Big Blue managed only a 14-0 victory.

"Well, the yogurt's good."
"You don't eat yogurt."
Two freshmen sat in a campus
dorm, trying to figure out what it
was that made Markley one of the
most popular dorms around. "May-
be it's the chicks. There's this girl
up on the fifth floor . .
THE FINAL FIGURES aren't in
yet for this year, but incomplete
data shows that Markley and Mo-
sher-Jordan are the most popular
dorms on campus, both in terms
of the number of applicants f o r
rooms and the return rate.
Why?
John Finn, director of housing in-
formation, leaned back in his chair
and sighed. "It depends on who
you ask," he said. "Ask the build-
ing directors, and they'll say its
because of them."
"It's because of me," Leroy Wil-
liams, buildingdirector at Mark-
ley said with a grin. "Seriously,
dorms at
Lots of nice looking chicks."
"It's the food," the head of the
cafeteriaksaid as she checked the
meal tickets.
"THE FOOD IS SHITTY," Doug
Line, '77, replied. I've eaten at all
the dorms, and this is the worst."
The halls of Markley are long
and -narrow, the rooms best des-
cribed as functional. The lounges
are big and modern, but there is a
noticeable lack of woodwork and
overstuffed chairs. Despite t h e
murals, the forest in the cafeteria,
and the carpeting, even the casual
observer can tell that Markley was
built in the modern concept with
straight economical right angles
dividingh1200 people into 600irooms.
A right turn and a sterile half-
block away from Markley, sits
Mosher-Jordan, a masterpiece of
turn of the century English Coun-
try Club architecture. This dorm,
the figures say, vies for Markley
for the title of best-loved on cam-
pus.
IT'S A SMALLER DORM, and
Sharon Gensler, who has been
building director for two years,
feels this is important.
